Customer Reviews

Excellent

The seller sent my order right away, and the book was in very good condition for a good price

A keeper!

This book is 2-part. The first part involves Physical Anthropology. The second part is Cultural Anthropology. I am very fortunate that my college uses this book for both courses: Physical and Cultural anthropology. You may get lucky too. Ask your professor if this book is used in more than one course before you sell it back. There is (or should be in the new books) a CD that is included. This is a fantastic visual media that supplements the book nicely. Here is a hint however, go to the book's/author's website before purchasing this text new. On another note, the book is so well written and is so up-to-date that I will be keeping it and referring back to it for many years to come. The author recounts his own experiences throughout this text and is a well known and respected anthropologist. It may be worth your time to do a search for articles he has written by logging into anthrosource.com.

One of the best textbooks out there

Great textbook for a four-field approach to Anthropology...have been using it with my students for years, and get generally good feedback from the students about the textbook.

Anthropology Text

I think that this book gives a clear and concise overview of anthropology. I recommend it for anyone who is looking for a broad overview of the subject.

Enjoyable reading

Kottak is a model for scientific writers. Clear, well-organized and engaging.
